A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
The Airborne Reconnaissance Systems (ARS) program coordinates the development of advanced technologies (sensors, data links, targeting networks and products,
and quick reaction capabilities) in support of multiple airborne reconnaissance platforms, both manned and unmanned. Its objectives are to develop, demonstrate, and
rapidly transition advanced, interoperable, multi-platform solutions to reduce the find, fix, target, and track kill chain timeline, and to provide safe separation and collision
avoidance for Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPAs). It provides for modeling/simulation, training and systems engineering. This program also coordinates the development
of common collection, processing, and dissemination solutions for near-real time Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR).
Funds in any project can also cover activities to include studies and analysis to support both current program planning and execution and future program planning.

- A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
The purpose of the Imaging and Targeting Support (I&TS) program is to develop and demonstrate next-generation, persistent, wide area surveillance, aircraft avoidance,
and common imagery reconnaissance sensor capabilities (radar and electro-optical systems), including sensor data processing, for multiple airborne platforms, as well
as sensor products to aid in rapid targeting (geolocation models, sensor-based exploitation tools, sensor networking capabilities).
Developmental efforts pursued are: improved sensor capabilities such as hyperspectral imagery (HSI), measurement and signature intelligence (MASINT), polarimetric
imaging, ground moving target indication(GMTI), foliage penetration (FOPEN), and additional radar, electro-optical, and other modalities; increased geolocation
accuracy; increased dismount detection capability; advanced sensor data correlation; automated target detection; network centric warfare; and other Intelligence,
Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) and associated Tasking, Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (TPED) capabilities. These efforts are intended to reduce
both target search and kill chain timelines as well as supporting traditional intelligence activities. This project will also increase interoperability among developed systems
by developing common standards and tools.
The funds in this project, less Congressional adds and Quick Reaction Capabilities (QRCs), are distributed in priority order for the goal of building a comprehensive
Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) capability for the USAF. On an annual basis, developmental technologies are reviewed against warfighter capabilities and
requirements based on strategic roadmaps. Projects advancing the technological maturity of promising sensors and processing capabilities are reviewed and prioritized
into a recommended list for senior executive direction to implement in the coming year.
Traditional focus areas include, but are not limited to: development and demonstration of common radar and electro-optical sensors (Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR),
Low Frequency SAR, and antenna, Electo-Optical(EO), Infrared (IR), HSI, Low Light, Laser Radar (LADAR), Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) and their operational
modes (High Resolution Imagery, Ground and Dismount Moving Target Indication(GMTI/DMTI), Persistent Surveillance, Wide Area Motion Imagery (WAMI), Spectral
Identification) for multiple airborne platforms, including medium and high altitude platforms; development and demonstration of advanced tactical sensor and associated
TPED processing algorithms and tools (automatic registration, automatic and assisted target detection, network centric warfare). Development of integrated multisensor capabilities to detect and identify obscured targets (OT); development and implementation of imagery standards (Common Ground/Dismount Moving Target
Indicator (GMTI/DMTI), National Imagery Transmission Format (NITF); and monitoring and enhancement of Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) product quality (radar and EO/
IR imagery, GMTI data, and spectral information) and timeliness throughout the image chain (from sensor to user). These efforts focus on reducing the find, fix and track
elements of the time critical targeting kill-chain timeline while improving operator and decision-maker efficiency and effectiveness.
Activities also include studies and analysis to support both current program planning and execution and future program planning.

- A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
The Joint Technology Center/Systems Integration Laboratory (JTC/SIL) is a center of technical excellence to support Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and Remotely
Piloted Aircraft (RPA) programs within the services. The mission includes Service-specific and Joint Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence,
Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) programs throughout DoD. The JTC/SIL provides a Government testbed for interoperability, rapid prototyping, technology
insertion and transition, systems engineering, modeling/simulation, training and C4ISR optimization. The cornerstone of JTC/SIL's diverse tool set is the Multiple Unified
Simulation Environment (MUSE), which is the DoD simulation/training system of choice for many UAS, RPA and ISR systems. The MUSE is also known as the Air Force
Synthetic Environment for Reconnaissance and Surveillance (AFSERS) in its Air Force application. The MUSE/AFSERS simulates Air Vehicles, Sensors, Datalinks,
Takeoff and Landing Systems, and to some degree, surrogate UAS and RPA ground stations, when actual ground stations are unavailable.
The Services and combatant commanders have a requirement for the capability to train with a system that provides a real-time simulation environment containing
multiple intelligence systems that can be integrated with larger force-on-force simulations. The MUSE creates a realistic operational environment which supports the
ability to assess military utility, architecture and concept of employment development, and Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTP) refinement, conduct emerging
concepts experimentation, and optimize C4ISR within warfighting exercises and experiments. It is the preferred simulation system used by the combatant commanders
and Joint Services to support command and battle staff C4ISR training.
The MUSE/AFSERS also creates a realistic operational environment that supports: an embedded training capability for multiple Program Managers; tools to minimize
acquisition and life cycle cost and schedule impacts; ability to conduct emerging concepts experimentation, future systems exploration, systems integration, and
technology insertion; applications for Joint and Service-specific warfighting exercises; and C4ISR optimization.
MUSE/AFSERS is currently in use within all Services and most unified commands simulating MQ-1, MQ-9, RQ-4, MQ-1C, M/RQ-5, RQ-7, national and commercial
satellite collectors, P-3, E-8, and the U-2. During warfighting exercises, the JTC/SIL integrates imagery simulations with associated C4ISR systems to support the
execution of critical imagery processes. For those assets normally not available for training, the JTC/SIL provides surrogate systems and interfaces. Distributed training
environments, virtually linking participants from various locations worldwide, are routinely supported within the MUSE architecture. The MUSE/AFSERS is also used as a
mission rehearsal tool for current, on-going military combat operations.
The JTC/SIL supports the OSD UAS Task Force staff and the Standards and Interoperability Integrated Product Team, as well as the joint team working the Ground
Segment Interface. The JTC/SIL is the primary custodian of this interface and in that role performs various supporting tasks including development of tools for helping
the definition and execution of open architecture for joint service ground control systems, developing and maintaining standardization agreement (STANAG) 45 joint
interoperability tasks to be defined on an annual basis.

Systems, Project 675148, Common Airborne Sense and Avoid (C-ABSAA), in order to provide greater visibility into this capability and prepare for expanded applications.
A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
C-ABSAA is an analysis and developmental effort in the pre-Material Development Decision phase of the acquisition lifecycle which supports emerging warfighter
requirements to fully integrate Group 4-5 RPA into the National Airspace System (NAS), international airspace, other nations' sovereign airspace, and operational
combat airspace to conduct the entire range of military operations across all mission environments. C-ABSAA also supports the "Worldwide Operations" Key
Performance Parameter (KPP) in larger Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) requirement documents, and Public Law 112-239 directing DoD collaboration with the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Air and Space Administration (NASA) to safely integrate RPA in the NAS. Funding in this project supports
the development of a Sense and Avoid (SAA) capability set for Group 4-5 RPA and covers analysis, research, and developmental activities as well as infrastructure
and other government costs. Ongoing activities include support to the development of warfighter requirements and analysis of possible solution alternatives, the
collaboration with the FAA, NASA, and Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) to develop national policy and standards, and SAA related studies, analysis, modeling
and simulation, program planning and project execution. RPA platform specific integration and testing is not included.

D. Acquisition Strategy
C-ABSAA will integrate Better Buying Power 3.0 initiatives throughout its acquisition lifecycle and rely upon acquisition of government data rights to maximize contractor
competition from Technology Development through Production. The program uses an incremental acquisition strategy to provide the warfighter with SAA capability for
Group 4-5 RPA with increased, time-phased capability improvements as technology and risks achieve satisfactory levels. Group 4-5 RPA platforms will be expected to
integrate the C-ABSAA provided capability into their unique systems via retrofit or in production.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
Gorgon Stare provides city-sized wide area airborne surveillance for Combatant Commanders and is managed by the 645th Aeronautical Systems Group, Intelligence,
Surveillance, and Reconnaissance and Special Operations Forces (ISR&SOF) Directorate. The Gorgon Stare system provides a podded wide area airborne sensor
suite integrated on specially-modified MQ-9 Reaper Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA). The Air Force Requirements Oversight Council (AFROC) approved Air Combat
Command's recommendation to transition Gorgon Stare from a Quick Reaction Capability to an Air Force Enduring Capability in November 2014. Gorgon Stare's
requirements are documented in the Gorgon Stare Wide Area Airborne Sensor Capabilities Production Document (draft). The acquisition strategy for this Air Force
podded sensor suite solution is sustainment of the currently fielded capabilities with any upgrades implemented via validated -1067s or Urgent Operational Needs.
Provisions to consider pre-planned product improvements (P3I) and/or multi-INT enhanced capabilities to address evolving and emerging technology advancements are
within the scope of the acquisition strategy.
Development efforts conducted with FY14 Congressionally added RDT&E funds include software integration lab testing of Near Vertical Direction Finding (NVDF) with
Gorgon Stare Inc 2 Wide Area Motion Imagery (WAMI) sensors. Funds spent on NVDF will provide a ramp for future airborne integration efforts as required. RDT&E
efforts conducted with FY15 Congressionally added funds include development efforts focused on adaptive compression and processing to enable more efficient and
timely reachback.
Activities also include studies and analysis to support both current program planning and execution as well as future program planning.

D. Acquisition Strategy
The acquisition strategy for Dismount Detection Radar (DDR) included a competitive source selection that began in 1QFY12 and was awarded in February 2012.
After a ~100 day protest, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) denied all protest allegations allowing the Prime Contractor, Raytheon, to begin the design and
development of the radar system in June 2012. The radar design included an OSA approach, which will be demonstrated when MIT/LL develops and integrates an
advanced mode into the radar system. Program completed demonstration activities in FY14, and completed remaining closeout activities in FY15.
